In the wake of Disney+ moving its new series based on the movie Love, Simon to Hulu, Hilary Duff called on Disney today to shift Lizzie McGuire reboot series from the family-friendly new streamer to the veteran one.
The actress took to Instagram to urge the media giant to consider running her show on Hulu because “I’d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30 year old’s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating.”

It’s the second time this week that Duff has used the social media platform to comment about the new Lizzie McGuire series. On Tuesday, she posted a cryptic message to her fans about Disney+ shifting its Love, Simon spinoff Love, Victor moving to Hulu because of its less-than-family-friendly subject matter. That post since has been deleted.

Hilary Duff has posted a statement asking that the planned revival of “Lizzie McGuire” be moved from Disney Plus to Hulu.
“I’d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30 year old’s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating,” Duff wrote on Instagram. “It’s important to me that just as her experiences as a preteen/teenager navigating life were authentic, her next chapters are equally as real and relatable. It would be a dream if Disney would let us move the show to Hulu, if they were interested, and I could bring this beloved character to life again.”
Her statement can be read in full below. Variety has reached out to Disney for comment and will update this story should they respond.

We’re getting one step closer each and every day to Disney+’s Lizzie McGuire reboot…or are we?
Hilary Duff took to Instagram yesterday with a cryptic message to her fans following the news of the streamer’s Love, Simon spinoff Love, Victor moving to Hulu because of its less-than-family-friendly subject matter.
“Sounds familiar,” Duff wrote. (See the screenshot of her Instagram Story below.)
Back in January, it was announced that creator Terri Minsky would be stepping down as showrunner of the sequel series due to creative differences. Based on Duff’s message, perhaps “adult themes” were to blame for the hold up.
Fans of the popular 2000s series shouldn’t worry too much, however. According to sources at Disney+, there’s been no change in the series’ status, and it is still being redeveloped.
Here’s hoping they can figure it out on the way.

“Lizzie McGuire” creator Terri Minsky is stepping away from her role as showrunner on the upcoming revival of the series for Disney Plus. A new showrunner has not yet been named.
“Fans have a sentimental attachment to ‘Lizzie McGuire’ and high expectations for a new series,” said to a Disney spokesperson. “After filming two episodes, we concluded that we need to move in a different creative direction and are putting a new lens on the show.”
Production on the show has been placed on hiatus amid the transition as Disney sets a new showrunner for the series. Star Hilary Duff is currently honeymooning in Mozambique with her new husband, Matthew Koma.
The new “Lizzie McGuire” is slated to pick up as Hilary Duff’s title character is just about to turn 30. Original star Hilary Duff was set to reprise the role as Lizzie navigated the ups and downs of adulthood...

The Lizzie McGuire revival is bringing back another beloved cast member.
Disney+ has confirmed that Adam Lamberg is returning for the forthcoming sequel series, reprising the role of Gordo.
There was a love story brewing between Gordo and Lizzie, so fans have naturally been up in arms waiting for this announcement.
“Gordo was an essential piece of the puzzle to what made the original Lizzie McGuire so authentic and beloved,” Hilary Duff — who also serves as an executive producer on Lizzie, alongside original series creator Terri Minsky — said in a statement.
“I couldn’t imagine the series without him. I can’t wait for fans to see what he’s up to 15 years later and how he fits into Lizzie’s adult world.”
Lizzie and Gordo kissed in Italy, but what became of their relationship after that? That's one of the bigger questions about this revival.
